City & State: Columbus, OHHey Skate family, I have not represented in a while, so let me start out by shouting out to my Skate Master home chapter in Columbus, Ohio and our afflicted chapters in Atlanta, Charlotte, OK, Denver, Kansas City, Nashville, Richmond, CA, and East St. Louis/St Louis.
Next to my new found Mariner of the Seas Cruise family, Pat and Tee thank you so much for the experience of a lifetime. To the New York, New Jersey Party Animals, Tanya (Jersey Diva), Lamont, Pam, Phil (Birthday Boy), Sharon (Bus Queen), and last but not least, the party man (Stevie KoooKooo), you guys are a wild bunch, but a party aint a party until New York/Jersey roll through!!! To the Kraziest and I do mean Kraziest man in Kansas City, Big Brother Reggie. Just two words for you Reg (GET HELP), boy your energy is every lasting. Sherri (Indianapolis) you truly put it down on the rink, while the rest of us slid all over the rink, your stride never missed a beat, you showed out girl, (I know that you keep a can of (anti slide spray) hidden in your skate bag) (smile). Now for the Card Sharks (The Bid Wick Players) Auntie Joi and Cynthia no more Blue Caribbean Drink while biding ladies!! To my new found Twin, Mica (Simply Unique (Flint), who could ask for a cuter twin, stay sweet little sis’. To my easy going buddies/dinner company Everett and Ty from Detroit it was nice kicken it with you. To the Luv Birds James and Janet Kirk (Columbus) they were celebrating their anniversary, it was nice to final see you two come up for air (smile) and after the Rum Punch in the Caribbean, we really didn’t think that we would see you guys.
Lastly to the two ladies that kept me going and going, nite and day, non stop Jersey Diva (Tanya) and Desi (SkateGroove), I had so much fun hanging with you two crazy ladies. Up until now I have never had the pleasure of hanging out with my skate family for an entire week that was so much fun. I think at Sherry’s Party in Chicago we should all bring our pictures from the cruise and have a good laugh. See you guys in Chi-town.

E-Mail: kpgemini@yahoo.comFirst of all let me say, by now everyone knows that the FIRST EVER Cruise and Skate 2004 was a success! So what else needs to be said... well for those of you who did not attend... you better get onboard next time (hint, hint). For all of you that did attend, DDR would like to thank you again for your participation and support. We honestly needed you to make it happen, and you all came through for us. To Tee, my personal thanks for all you did with coordinating everything. To PM Travel, we thank you for your time and effort with this. Desi, thank you so much for being the one woman reporter through it all... you are wonderful. To all the skaters (too many to name), and the cities that supported us.... thanks a bunch. I am just now coming out of cruise mode and back to the real world again. As you may have heard the ship was wonderful, the food was wonderful, the islands were wonderful, and the weather was wonderful. Did I mention the skating? Well it was wonderful. A good time was had by many, and we would like to see everyone that attended the first one attend the second one. (Oops, sorry that slipped.) Stay tuned to skategroove.com for more information on upcoming events.
See you on the boat!!! :)

City & State: Atlanta, GAWhew!!! I had a GREAT time on the Mariner of The Seas. The Roller Skate/Cruise was the BOMB! I feel sorry for the ones that didn't go. The ship was Fantastic, the service was Above 5 stars, the company was wonderful. I don't need to talk about the food, decoration... The skating was so cool and everyone that has seen the pictures can't believe that we skated on a Cruise Ship. I only wished that we could have skated longer. The music was really nice.The Ice skating show was one of a kind. I have seen a lot of Ice Skating shows, but this tops all of them. I enjoyed every second that I was there. When I first saw the Ship, I almost cried. What a beautiful site.
The only thing that I wished that could have been different, I wished we could have stayed on the Ship for 2 more weeks and that my Sugarbear (my husband) could have went. Shouts out to my Dinner party- Art, Mable, Pam, Emily and Merlene. I enjoyed breaking bread with you guys for the whole week. My daughter Michele Mc Phun, so sorry we didn't get to spend more time with each other, and the jerk chicken was sooooo good. Next time I am in Ocho Rios, I want to get some more of that chicken. Anyway Michele, it looks like you were having a ball and I am glad for you. Love ya. Ms Merlene, sorry I wanted to stay in the sun so much, I love the sun and I think my "tan" will speak for that. I would have you for a cabin mate anytime. Special thanks to Ty and everyone that signed my book. I have a lot of memories for a long time.
My Bid Whist partner- Cynthia, we beat them good, didn't we? Happy Anniversary to you and Matt. Tell Matt I want to see the picture he took without me posing. Thanks Barbara and Mika for the new steps. Kylah and Tone, I love you guys. S.A.Y.A. ( stay as you are) Reggie Tinson, nice meeting you, hangin with you and beating you in cards. Hi Michelle and Joseph, the pictures are on the way. Desi, thanks again for such kind words. I'm glad you didn't work ALLLLL of the time on the Cruise. I'm glad you had fun also. Sherri, Sherri, Sherri aka Sleeping Beauty, thanks for the note in my book. Your words meant a lot to me. Hey Pep' ( I got another niece, ya'll) What's up girl, had a ball with you, I might see you next week in Ohio. Hi Maxine and Congrats for winning The Best female in The Karoke contest. Mr and Mrs Warren, I like your his and hers outfits. Very Classy. I knew you had to be from Detroit. Pamela Perry- a true Thrill Seeker. I enjoyed the Wave Runner ride. I was glad to see you having a good time. David and Cynthia Cross, thanks for coming on the cruise and Representing Atlanta with me. David, you need help. You kept the bus rolling (with laughter) on our way back. But next time, let your sister sleep. I'm still tired. smile James, thanks for the compliment on my hair. Nice job with the T-shirts.
Carl and Reggie, what can I say about you two. Reggie, thanks for being such a pleasant person to be around. I have known you for years and you really impressed me on the cruise. You seemed to have had a ball with ALL the ladies. Thanks for talking to my husband, you are my BIG Brother now. Love you much. The crew DRR, thanks for such a wonder adventure. I loved the snorkeling and I got a few good shots under water and feeding the fish. Theresa, what can I say. You ARE THE BEST. You have made a dream of mines come true. I thank you a thousand times over. I know the work was hard, but the reward for all is speechless. There was so much you did for us, having a special floor put down for us to skate on, the special Cocktail hour, the T-shirts, The group photo... You are the BEST and I love you-"Sister" And as always, I saved the Best for last, I want to Thank My Heavenly Father for a safe and fun journey. We missed a storm by a day, and everything was smooth sailing. I Thank You for guiding our Captain.Still Tired and Tanned
